TS #4 - Brad Charlassier

For my 4th tutoring session I met with Dojun. Dojun had expressed he wanted to learn some slang and improve his vocabulary, so I decided to show him a clip from one of my personal favorite shows, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.The show is very rich in American culture, I quickly realized, but also a bit inappropriate. I figured since Dojun is in his 30s, it would not be a big deal if the content was slightly towards PG-13. The clip was where two friends, Dennis and Mac, try to get their other friend, Charlie, to sign up onto a dating website. What ensues is Charlie responding to all the typical profile questions (ie What is your favorite hobby? What is your favorite food? What are your likes? What are your dislikes?) with ridiculous answers. For example, in response to his favorite food, Charlie said his favorite is "milk steak" and as for his likes he stated that "ghouls" are of his likes. So I had to explain to Dojun what all these different things were while first letting him guess what they are. Him guessing what milk steak was was quite humorous since there is no such thing as milk steak.
